28 patients suffering from advanced Hodgkin's disease were treated according to protocol containing 7 cytostatic drugs including methotrexate and corticosteroids, but not cyclophosphamide, chlormethine or procarbazine. 22 patients i.e. 78.5% attained complete remission and 5 i.e. 17.8% a partial one. Drug tolerance was satisfactory: out of side-effects the most common was myelosuppression, especially granulocytopenia. Our early results were similar to those obtained with MOPP-like protocols, but early undesirable effects less often and of a smaller degree. Because the protocol has been aimed at avoiding late toxicity of cytostatics, its final evaluation will be possible in the future. |
